Can we actually have /tinfoil/ be a board for discussion of actual conspiracy theories and not just be a shitposting dumping ground? /spooky/ has the same problem. No one even tries to tell ghost stories. The whole place is treated as just one giant trash bin for shitposts. And it isn't just them. All the academic boards are like this more or less which is part of the reason why they've been abandoned and everybody just posts on /b/ instead. What's even the point of trying to discuss like cooking if everyone just makes the same shitposts they would on spooky, tin, sagan, chem or whatever I mean look at this shit https://boards.420chan.org/chem/res/79300.php people take the same attitudes to the academic and lifestyle boards now as they did with spooky and tinfoil both of which used to be good (tinfoil not so much but was still good at first). Is there any way we can improve overall board quality?

I don't want to, actually ironically now that I think about it, have to go to /b/ for a better quality discussion than any of the other boards.

>>252084Ever since Kirt allowed /woo/ to shitpost up /tinfoil/ the mods stopped caring about /tinfoil/ and /spooky/ sadly. They used to actually be fun boards but now it's just schizo shitposting and that one annoying tripfag. Tl;dr mods don't give a fuck and it will never change sadly

>>252086Same shit happening in /vg/. Four is literally turning the board about him and all the idiots in there are doing exactly what he wants. They can’t simply ignore him, they just gotta talk about him. He’s not even doing anything, one post his retarded ass and the thread is guaranteed derailed.

>>252088I don’t give a fuck. Stop fucking replying to the incel you dumb fuck. He’s a fucking methhead, friends with Stimlion with the same level of faggotry. You can not harass him out of the site, he’s been posting here for years now and he can easily outpost you. You keep pushing him and he’ll wreck your board just like Stimlion fucked /stim/ all those years.Stop replying to him. Stop giving him attention. Don’t even fucking mention his name and he just might go away on his own.

>>252101Also where the hell did you get SETI from? Phoenix was a Vietnam torture program. Also the Trump collusion with Russia was and to an extent still literally is a conspiracy theory because nothing has yet been proven implicating him directly. Likewise PRISM was only recently not a conspiracy theory.

all of the boards need a nice clean up, problem is no one sane wants to moderate the boards and its hard to trust people to do so. the mods are jaded because we treat them like fucking shit and then wonder why boards get abandoned. I've learned to stop being overly critical of them, call me an ass kisser or whatever but hating on them for every little mistake doesnt help anybody and just creates a toxic enviroment and leaves the mods with a bad taste in their mouth. I dont blame them honestly. this is coming from someone who used to hate most of the mods for those reasonings.

tl;dr treat mods with some respect and make them feel part of 420chan and maybe there will be some more motive to actually moderate the boards more.

When I started coming here people used to be excited to talk to the mods on /b/. Now when a mod posts people either completely ignore them or talk shit to them and call them names.

Is that how you treat someone that you want to take care of your beloved website? No. So that leads me to believe that some of the people who frequent this place do so specifically to be a negative element. I could be completely wrong about that. It might just be that a decent amount of our userbase is fairly new, while a lot of the older, core userbase is gone.

Seemed like plenty of people jumped ship on this place over the last 2-4 years. It's been a steady decline, honestly starting around the first anime holocaust. The destruction of the anime board got rid of a big chunk of people that were actually really good posters, who brought positive vibes to the site. There was a flicker of hope with the semi-recent wedding, but that faded pretty quickly. I just hope this place becomes reinvigorated, because I couldn't stand to see it fizzle out like this. It hurts

>>252216Weebs are among the worst posters. Honestly if you simply banned weebs altogether it'd probably wipe out most of the poltards along with them. Every time you prod them sure enough they start ranting about feminists and black people or whatever stupid shit. And I keep seeing I'm pretty sure the same routinely banned person whining about mods, sayin nb somebshit about site dying blah blah and so on. Actually the only thing you haven't done so far is complain about latex, who is also a terrible shitposter but that one guy who never shuts up about him/mods/his ban/site activity has given me a begrudging respect for that obnoxious fetishist.

The other thing I'd add is that it's abundantly clear to me the main problem has simply been the cancer that killed the future. They're directly responsible for why so many of the boards became shit, and when it is nothing but wall to wall garbage it gets to the point of like, what is even the point anymore. It's almost like they're actively and consciously fighting against any attempt at making good content or having interesting or funny discussions and are only here to destroy the site. People like that make me wish there was some cobbled together Stuxnet to get these people to open in a zip bomb or something.

That bear motherfucker who posts on hooch and sometimes weedMintz or somesuch? i forgot how to spellingInterpolKirtypoo, mostlyLoskene was always solid on pokemon when I was playing diamond pearl, like at least 100 years ago. Jericho

Lol it's literally the exact opposite. They act like massive assholes, banning people for flimsy reasons and even, on occasion, refusing to ban actual cancerous posters out of sheer spite.

Jericho's in this thread trying to make everyone think he's cool and that he doesn't take the internet way, way too seriously but he's guilty of the exact same shit. He's banned me a fuck ton of times just for criticising him. One of those times was for criticising him because he refused to ban a /pol/tard in a thread here on /420/. Apparently /pol/tards are a-okay as long as they're sucking up to you and taking your side in an argument.

>call me an ass kisser or whatever

You are an ass kisser. Actually I take that back, you're probably just one of them posting anonymously. I have a hard time believing any actual poster can think the way you do, especially in light of the whole latex guy thing.

Respect is earned, not given, and it's a two way street. You can't keep acting petty and fickle and expect everyone to just love you for it. And you can't treat your users like complete and utter dogshit and expect anyone to take your crocodile tears seriously when they throw some of that shittiness back in your direction. The way it is now, 420chan has two major cancers. The encroaching /pol/tard menace, slowly polluting the active boards with their agenda pushing bullshit. And the mods themselves who act like contrarian teenagers, moderate selectively and enable the /pol/tards when it suits them to do so. If you people actually gave two shits about anything that wasn't jerking yourselves off over how much power you have on a drug themed imageboard, then maybe people would stop being critical of you.

inb4 lots of butthurt whining and possibly another permaban because I told the truth and you losers don't like it

any reason the thread about the horrible tragedy in New Zealand got locked? I feel like that is major world news right now and conversation about it should be allowed on the world news board. Just checked it and it's locked.

>>252348Most of the thread seems to be people discussing the topic with very few racist troll retards. And it would make more sense to ban the stormfront and the future fags then to lock the thread so we can't talk about it anymore.

>>252351Idk man I have never visited /n/ and never will I was just speculating Is that spunker's domain? idk lots of things go on for far longer than they should and sometimes things get locked super early for some dumb shit MODS= gods

>>252355Yes and no. Our "chan culture" has always been similar but distinct from places like My Penis™ (totally original content I just made that up right now, you can't use it or I'll sue you). Ours has always been irreverent and stupid but also wicked self-deprecating and maybe a little bipolar 2. We also never went full edge like they have (I guess you could stick our /gore/ era in there but thankfully it didn't last) or adopted some weird superiority complex towards 'normies'. Like there's a lady posting in /qq/ about being a new mom and the worst reply she's gotten is;

>eat the child and reclaim what has been lost. try again another day

Go post that on literally any other *chan and tell me how it goes.

Deleting /pol/ was fucking great but that's because it was the least 420chan part of the site. We don't need to turn into circlejerk we just need to not let shit from 8/4/whatever chan run roughshod.

>>252359Oh no, we were edgelords here too but it was always bit closer to the future. Of course what really happened was the future kept gaining more and more notoriety until all the people we hated the absolute most slowly took over the place while the rest fled. This of course has been going on for a long time. Around the Habbo and Fox report era 4 got flooded with retards. The average age also dropped. Despite their claims to "edginess" in all honesty the typical poltard is literally just the exact same mouth breathing retard who watches Fox and listens to Rush Limbaugh. They always were like this. The difference is, those fucking idiots at least kept their actual thoughts a bit more private most of the time.

The exact same people you see in the Republican party and tuning into Bill O'Reilly are now the only people on there. Meanwhile we never got quite as much shitstains here because it stayed more low key and the mods have always been more on top of things than any of the other chans. They don't say it in public, but all the same mentality and ideas about killing black people or whatever their dumb shit has always been the people in the GOP and the idiots we used to troll.

It's kind of like Bohemian Grove. That whole thing started off as some underground artsy scene, where eventually more and more of the artsy beatnick types started bringing in their high society friends, and their high society friends brought in their faggoty business friends, until nothing was left of it but a summer camp for assholes like Nixon and Reagan. Exact same thing happened to the future.
